Jay Gatsby's ballroom flaunts marble columns, a curving staircase, and a gilded ceiling. "On the one hand it's a sad, lonely Gothic house, but it's also a house of great wealth and beauty," says production and costume designer Catherine Martin. "It had to encapsulate Gatsby's extraordinary ambitions and his optimistic, romantic soul."

The large terrace features an ornate balustrade and scalloped awnings. The sets were so stunning they even impressed the veteran cast and crew. "There were scenes where we would be by Gatsby's pool and he's throwing a big party, and if you look behind the camera you'd see 20 or 30 crew members with their camera phones out," says Tobey Maguire, who plays Nick Carraway. "That never happens on film sets, but this was such a spectacle, something to behold."
